Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_7_ Metal bracket-II
Title:
NX Metal Bracket-II
Objective:
The objective is to design a Bracket-II using Siemens NX sheet metal application.
Introduction:
Here we are going to design a Metal Bracket , it is a sheet metal component. The Metal Bracket can be created in any shape . And it can also created by using Siemens NX sheet metal application.
Design Methodology:
The process gone through while designing.
Step1: Draw a given sketch in YZ plane and in XZ plane.
Step2: Add a contour flange to the XZ plane sketch.
Step3: perform a normal cutout feature two times with depth of 120mm and 49mm.
Step4:Perform the break corner feature.
Step5: And do the normal cutout feature on downside.
Step6: Now unbend the model.
Step7: Now sketch in YZ model.
Step8:And perform normal cutout feature.
Step9: Perform rebend.
Step10: Select the advanced flange.
Step11: Add Four four gussets to the bend areas.
The process is completed.
Features used in the designing
Normal cutout is a command to cut material by projecting a sketch onto the model and then cutting perpendicular to the surfaces intersected by the projection.
Break corner is a command to round or chamfer sharp corners of a tab or flanges.
Unbend is a command used to flatten the sheet metal with respect to one flat sheet.
Rebend is a command used to restore the unbend.
Hole is the command used to create a hole on the surface.
Gusset is a command which add a rib like structure between two sheet metal. It is also used for stiffening sheetmetal.
Advanced flange is a type of flange command which can create flange over curved edges also.
Contour flange is a base feature by extruding a sketch along the vector or adds material by sweeping a sketch on edge.
